Exploring the World of Chevy SUVs

There are many reasons you should consider an SUV as your next vehicle. Not only are they great for everyday use and leisurely activities, but they are also incredibly versatile and feature ample cargo space and an array of safety features. One manufacturer in particular who consistently produces high-quality vehicles and has done so for over a century is Chevrolet. Among the extensive number of lineups on offer in the current market, millions of fans are drawn to the new and exciting innovations seen in modern-day Chevy SUVs each year.

Currently, the Chevy SUV models are the Trailblazer, the Trax, the Equinox, the Blazer, the Traverse, the Tahoe, and the Suburban. Chevy’s SUV lineup offers the kind of reliability and efficiency that have become synonymous with SUVs over time and are currently some of the very best you can get on the market today. With this many choices, it makes sense if you’re asking yourself what exactly each of the Chevy SUV models are and are looking to learn a thing or two. So, today, we at DePaula Chevy in Albany, NY, are going to help you with just that and go over what you can expect from each SUV in the Chevy lineup.

The Low-Priced Trailblazer

Currently, the 2021 Trailblazer is the newest iteration of this beloved model and serves as the lowest-priced SUV of the bunch with a starting MSRP of $19,000. Amongst the Trailblazer’s five trims, you’ll find a spacious cabin with a maximum passenger capacity of five. Although the starting price for the Trailblazer could easily be seen as a feature itself, you’ll also be given an ample amount of cargo space with 54 cu.ft. total, which is very respectable for the price range. There’s a lot to like about the all-new 2021 Trailblazer, and fans are sure to take notice.

The Tech-Centric Trax

The 2020 Trax is full of technology, with only three trims to select from, the base LS model starts at an MSRP of $21,300. This compact SUV not only totes an interior that can easily be identified as classy in this price range, but it also supports a host of newer and exciting tech-centric features such as a Chevrolet Infotainment 3 system. This system supports both Apple CarPlay and Android Auto for those with compatible devices, and an additional 4G LTE Wi-Fi hotspot gives your passengers access to a strong and dependable connection. Overall, the technology offered in the Trax is undeniably fantastic.

The Efficient Equinox

Chevy’s Equinox is both efficient and performs quite adequately, especially for the starting MSRP of $23,800. The 2020 Equinox seats five passengers with ease, and the spacious interior grants a total of 63.9 cu.ft., which is perfect for various amounts of cargo. With the added power in the Equinox, it has become the entry-level SUV for towing with a fully equipped variant featuring a maximum towing capacity of 3,500 lbs. Fuel efficiency is the most significant strong suit for the Equinox with an adequately equipped model granting EPA-estimated ratings of 26 MPG in the city and 31 MPG on the highway. This efficiency is almost unbeatable.

The Well Balanced Blazer

The Chevy Blazer’s best characteristic is its healthy balance between user accessibility and a respectable level of performance. Starting at an MSRP of $28,800, The Blazer looks sleeker than ever with a rather sporty exterior that looks viciously sophisticated. Critics and fans alike have praised the user-friendly interface of the infotainment system along with the inclusion of the aforementioned Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Additionally, the 2.5L 4-cylinder engine can be upgraded to a 3.6L V6 that gives it a noticeable increase to performance, including a maximum towing capacity of 4,500 lbs. Modest towing capabilities coupled with the spacious interior that grants 64.2 cu.ft of space surely grants the Blazer a popular SUV amongst fans.

The Spacious Traverse

Should you require a large seating capacity, then the 2020 Traverse is a great choice. The 2020 Traverse starts at an MSRP of $29,800 and serves as the entry-level third-row supported SUV that Chevrolet offers. The 2020 Traverse has a maximum seating capacity of either seven or eight depending on your seating configuration plus head and legroom are a non-issue. The Traverse dramatically increases cargo space from 64.2 cu.ft seen on the Blazer, all the way up to 98.2 cu.ft., a stark 53% increase in capacity. The Traverse is also a very capable SUV with a fully kitted out Traverse containing the available 3.6L V6 engine being able to tow a maximum capacity of 5,000 lbs. With that power and space, the Traverse is something to behold.

The More Spacious, More Powerful Tahoe

The 2021 Tahoe is a perfect introduction to the “big leagues” when it comes to SUVs and has a starting MSRP of $53,800. The Tahoe can seat up to nine passengers, and cargo space is taken even further with a massive 122.9 cu.ft of cargo space, which is another 25% increase over the Traverse, and a massive 91% increase over the Blazer.

Chevy offers three engines for the Tahoe, including a 5.3L EcoTec3 V8 engine that produces 355 hp and 383 lb-ft of torque and a 6.2L EcoTec3 v8 which produces 420 hp and 460 lb-ft of torque. Chevy also offers up to nine available cameras that will give you a variety of different viewpoints for added visibility. The Tahoe is big, and the Tahoe is powerful; it certainly will command the road.

The Family Oriented Suburban

Many would consider the Chevy Suburban to be the perfect vehicle to bring with you on vacation. The 2021 Suburban starts at an MSRP of $56,500 and brings a whole new level of versatility to the lineup. Thanks to a graciously sized interior, the 2021 Suburban can easily fit up to nine adults comfortably with a significant emphasis on third-row legroom to avoid any discomfort.

Parents who drive their children around will be glad to see the inclusion of a rear-seat media system that places two 12.6-inch HD screens for watching movies and television shows while on the road. Both screens can display different content at any given time, which is perfect for children with siblings. The all-new 2021 Suburban serves as a culmination of everything that makes an SUV so appealing to the customer and should be heavily considered by anyone looking to purchase their own SUV.
